This is something I've pointed out to you time and again. Your racism is insidious. You may not be aware of it, just as many people who use the term (n-word) believes it is harmless.
When one persistently uses race to discriminate among people and caricatures individuals with racial stereotypes, it furthers the cause of racism -- and far more effectively than overt (non-violent) racism, which is in the open and can be easily discounted by third parties.
In your case, you use racism in an effort to further your political views -- constantly. So, trying to characterize this incident as a mere "slip" is kind of ridiculous. It is endemic to your way of thinking about things. Everything is black or white, Hispanic or Asian, whatever. If someone criticizes Obama, they must be a racist.
What you don't get is that thought process is, itself, racist, and highly offensive to those of us who grew up with real, often overtly violent, racism all around us. It took years for the South to be cleansed of it, and it is a bit disgusting to see it hanging on in other parts of the country. |
